Borna Šercar's Jazziana Croatica is a band with a mission whose goal is described and contained in its own name. Above everything else, they are a fantastic Croatian jazz representation made of the most excellent musicians. On their previous albums, they gave colourful and imaginative imprints to Croatian landscapes, natural occurrences and life forms, regions and cities, as well as characteristic and recognizable forms of Croatian national and folklore musical heritage. The new album continues this line with congenial covers of Croatian artistic vocal lyricism. With the greatest possible consideration and respect toward the originals and with the help of excellent vocals by Ana Lice and Valentina Fijacko Kobic, the songs of Emil Cossetto, Blagoje Bersa, Josip Hatz and Vladimir Ruždjak are shining in a new light. At the same time, coming from all around the world, every one of these songs per se, is an echo of different cultures and traditions woven into Croatian musical culture and tradition... Branimir Pofuk
